Garlinghouse Calls CLARITY Act Within Reach Before Senate Cloture Vote
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse frames the CLARITY Act cloture vote as a reachable milestone for U.S. crypto policy ahead of the September 15 Senate vote.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that making America the crypto capital of the world is within reach and called on policymakers to finish the job.
The comment responds directly to remarks from CFTC Chairman Michael Selig and comes less than two weeks before the Senate's scheduled September 15 cloture vote on the CLARITY Act.
Vote mechanics and open questions
The September 15 vote at 2:15 PM ET is a cloture motion that requires 60 votes to proceed to formal Senate consideration of the bill.
The outcome of that vote remains unknown, and disagreements persist over stablecoin rewards, DeFi rules, ethics provisions, and consumer protections.
